This is going to completely revolutionize the entire computing industry.
You will totally abandon all those your useless chatbots once you understand just how groundbreaking this is.
Like just imagine this:
A genius AI assistant that lives completely on YOUR machine, works inside the ALL chat apps you already use, and can take ANY real-world action for you -- including proactively sending you intelligent reminders and messages
❌❌ Another frustrating web app you have to open
✅✅ Clawdbot shows up every single place that you already are: WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, Teams...
You message it like a person. It replies like a person. It doesn't have to stuck in a faraway server where you have absolutely idea what is going on with your data.
And it can actually message you first.
All this and we haven't even started talking about all the amazing real-world actions that it can take for you.
Just built different
In simple terms, Clawdbot is an open-source personal AI assistant you run on your own computer or server.
It has two main parts:
The agent is the “brain.” It’s powered by an LLM and can use tools like the filesystem, shell commands, web browsing, and any integrations you enable. So it’s not just generating text — it can operate.
The gateway connects that agent to your chat apps and skills. It routes messages from WhatsApp or Slack to your local assistant, lets it run tools, and sends the reply back to you.
Local is the massive, massive keyword here -- it's why you're seeing so many people desperately rushing for Mac Minis.
Put together you get something that feels less like a chatbot and more like a genius assistant living on your machine.
Everyone is going crazy about it right now
Okay I don't know about this 😂
But Clawdbot has been shipping super fast -- and the recent releases are what pushed it into the spotlight.
A very release this month added things like richer replies for chat platforms, better text-to-speech behavior, and in-chat approvals — so the assistant can ask “Can I do this?” and you can approve it with a simple command.
It’s also starting to plug into bigger AI infrastructure.
Vercel recently published guidance on using Clawdbot with their AI Gateway, which lets you route requests across different models and providers.
That combination — fast iteration plus real ecosystem support — is what’s giving Clawdbot momentum.
Just not like the others
It lives…
